A new month just started up today. Now that we’re in February, we want to know what you’ve been playing.
Following the holiday season, things are starting to pick up with new releases. We’ve seen a variety of games launch including Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero, and more. Have you been playing through any of these? No matter the case, let us know in the comments.
Star of Providence, the second game to be published by Bigmode following Animal Well last year, just earned its release date. The company is putting it out for Nintendo Switch on February 20, 2025.
A top-down action shooter from Team D-13, Star of Providence was confirmed for Nintendo Switch release in August 2023. This is actually the first time we’ve had any sort of launch window.
To recap the game, check out the following overview:
According to Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii, Square Enix gave consideration to a Dragon Quest 3 remake in 3D.
Towards the end of last year, Square Enix ended up releasing a new version of the classic RPG in HD-2D. Horii said this was the best call as going the 3D route “significantly changes the feeling of the game”.
January 22: CyberConnect2 today officially announced Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3, and we also have a release date. The game is scheduled for May 29, 2025. A physical release containing the series’ games is also planned for the same day in Japan, but they’ll be available individually as well.
Fuga: Melodies of Steel 3 is another tactical RPG. CyberConnect2 says this is the conclusion of the story with “a brand-new, strategic battle system, enhanced Taranis training during intermission, and tactical route progression and event battles”.
One last trailer is in for The Stone of Madness, the newest game from Blasphemous developer The Game Kitchen. It made it to various platforms this week, including Nintendo Switch.

A company reaching its 100th anniversary is a massive milestone, but it turns out that day came and went without much fanfare within Nintendo.
Takaya Imamura, who is known for his work on the character designs for games such as Star Fox and F-Zero, revealed that Nintendo never actually celebrated that anniversary. It seems this was largely due to former president Hiroshi Yamauchi. Yamauchi had a certain mindset and believed in particular philosophies, so the 100th anniversary was treated just like any other day.
Inti Creates came out with the latest update for Card-en-Ciel this week, moving the title up to version 1.3.0.
MOD Database is now avaialble as a new feature. Players can also access new content with the latest Extra Dungeons and Parallel Cards.
